After earning all of the medals for this game, I think In can finally give my last analysis for the thing.

Another entry in the Thing-Thing Arena series, expanding upon and improving many features from the previous games. More maps, different sizes, more customization, and a boatload of weapons.

Although the customization was not one of the main focuses of the game, it's still a really fun feature to play with. Distinguishing yourself from the thousands of enemies that get slaughtered in front of your eyes is a nice touch.

Everything is as it should be in this game. The difficulty ramp-up can be a bit steep at times, but with a custom game, you can fix that. Another excellent idea to add round timers and multipliers to adjust to your level of play.

The weapons are varied enough to make you want to try them all, with some being more effective than others. However, the reward for diversifying, the Artifact 19, is an amazing gun; and an excellent reward for the challenge of getting every other weapon medal.

The gameplay itself can get a bit stale, but what do you expect from an endless arena game. It doesn't have to be diverse. The varied weapons and many methods of killing do take your mind off the process of kill-reload-repeat. The executions for each weapon is absolutely brutal, and are a nice touch to gain extra score in early rounds.

The amount of gore and blood is intense; but in-game options allow you to tone it down. Another really nice design feature, if you don't want extra bits of brain and shrapnel slowing down the experience.

Other than a few exploitable spots and unfair encounters, the game is well balanced, and well polished. I found no glitches whatsoever that are game-breaking; I.E getting stuck in walls.

Overall, one of the best 2-D arena shooters in a while. Excellent job, Diseased. Here's hoping you can release more of this series.
